Canning, Canning and still Canning

This week has shown no signs of slowing down....we began the week by canning a batch of green tomatoes on Monday.   We voted Tuesday morning!  Mr. Brooke dropped by Tuesday afternoon to can his locally famous apple butter.  Then we finished up another batch of green tomatoes...85 pints!  Wednesday was workout day and prepping 3 bushels of apples for Thursday's visit to Ellijay's cannery to make applesauce.  The trip to Ellijay on Thursday began with the cannery and ended with my weekly visit to BJ Reece Apple House...and picking up fresh breads for the week at Our Daily Bread.  We then stopped by the Cherokee County Animal Shelter in Canton, picked up left over jars from a recent fundraiser...and sold a few loaves of the fresh bread.  Friday began at the Atlanta's Farmer Market looking for the extra needed pumpkins and remaining vegetables before the frost from Ringgold.  We managed to cook Carla's turnip greens and start her tomatoes before moving on to Christy's sugar free pumpkin butter and apple pie jam....but, Saturday was the big day...we cooked and canned 92 quarts of chili, completed Carla's tomatoes, cooked 36 quarts of applesauce and apple butter and cooked an additional 24 quarts of collards and mixed greens.....then went to a small fundraiser for Autism in Acworth....today was rest!  Let's see what next week brings with pumpkin canning workshop on the horizon Tuesday.....see you there...
